Society and Clubs Read Bible, Sha Aloud as Speec Suggests Forme By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press, Correspondent New York (U.R) The greatest addition to the family fireside, Helen Menken believes, would be regular evenings spent reading aloud from the Bible and from Shakespeare's plays. Miss Menken is a former act ress whose parents were deaf mutes. She went on the stage in the early 1900's as Pease-Blossom in "Midsummer Night's Dream" at an age when other children were in nursery school. She's not one of those actresses who thinks everyone shpuld speak with the slurrifig R's and the broad A used on the stage, but she thinks parents bear a lot of blame for sloppy speech habits in their children. ."Children learn by image and they learn by ear," Miss Men ken, now retired from the stage and the wife of George N. Rich ard, explained. Cites Carelessness "We're careless with ceremony in families, simple acts like say ing 'Thank You' or introducing a guest properly. The careless ness carries over into the way we speak and the children pick up habits that often can be se rious handicaps." After her own childhood, when she learned to communi cate with her parents by sign language before she learned to Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) One or the tightest Oscar races in years is under way today, thanks to a composer who stubbornly in sisted a whis tle is a song. The tune, "Tlie High and the Mighty," recently was ruled out of the Oscar race because it was whistled by John Wayne and not sung .Aline Moeb in the film of the same title. This left "Three Coins in the Fountain," another top hit from a film score, a sure fire winner for the Academy honors. But Dimitri Tiomkin, com poser of the rejected tune, launched a stiff battle with cries of "jealousy!" in his undecip herable accent. . Tiomkin appealed to Wayne and Warner Studio, and the ly rics of "The High and the Mighty" were dubbed hurried ly onto, the sound track so the song would be eligible for the Oscar derby. Wanls Fair PJay "I really don't care that much about winning," the triumphant Tiomkin said today, "but I just iffv-Sew! 7046 SIZES 2-10 For now,' a dress from rem nants to make for school.

Her first stage V fti. - 1 T 1 pari required ner 10 ao more pantomine than speaking but the others in the cast taught her cor rect speech. "John Drew used to give me a list of 25 new words every day to learn to use," she recall ed. Would Serve Several Aims Miss Menken, whose own voice is pleasantly low but unaffected, said the family reading sessions would serve several purposes. "If a child is told at school thst he needs speech and diction lessons, his parents probably need the lessons too," she said. "Yet I'm so afraid when people starting taking speech and dic tion they will become affected. Don't let's take away the natural ness. A regional accent can be charming, if the voice is pleasant and the speech is clear. "If each member of the fam ily takes a turn at reading aloud, choosing a favorite scene from a play or a familiar chapter from the Bible, and reads the words for appreciation of the thoughts then everyone can benefit. "So much that we read and hear every day goes back to the Bible or to a Shakespeare play, that it is invaluable to become familiar with both." Li By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent like to see fair play. The music branch of the Academy insisted the song was theme.' It was not theme! It was written as a song and the Ned Washington lyrics originally were in the picture. But the director had a good shot of an airplane in the sky so they cut out the lyrics. "I think the music division of the Academy might have been a little jealous," he . continued. "After all, a song that was cut out of A Star is Born' was de clared eligible." o Although Tiomkin modestly refuses to admit it. it was his "High Noon" from the picture of the same title that started the recent trend of hit tunes from dramatic film background scores instead of musicals. Tiom kin won an Oscar for that num ber and ever since has been swamped with offers to write film scores that may wind up on the hit parade. "Studios using strange meth ods bringing tickets to boxoff ice," mused the composed. "Fox using Marilyn Monroe. Other studios want songs." Another Hit o Tiomkin's "Return to Para dise" theme was another hit, although his "Blowing Wild" title song missed, to his surprise. He recently penned a title tune for a Greer Gar son western, "Strange Lady in Town," that he pridicts will be a juke-box favorite. He also is writing background music for "Land of the Pharaohs." "Some day I would like to write an entire musical." hp saiVL "Most critics are knocking me. Sure, I would like to do high-pollutin' stuff. But movie songs have to be commercial, a little bit corny and hamy: "I do the best I can. Why, when I first came to Hollywood a producer told me. 'Darline. don't put minor chords behind the main titles the theater owners don't like sad music at the beginning of picture!" crith BIS HOT WATER CAPACITY heats water faster so you need not invest in a large, expensive 82-gallon heater.
